What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance in the Swing dance family. It is related to Lindy, Jitterbug, the Bop, East Coast Swing & Shag etc. It is a derivative of Lindy but is done more slotted (think the size of a door laying flat on a floor) and the female usually goes from one end of the slot to the other while the male stays in the middle of the slot). WCS is done to most all kinds of music. It’s one of the MOST creative dances for the partners.
